Helping with a deadbolt installation or rekeying the locks on your house isn’t the only way a locksmith can help improve your home security. Many homeowners are upgrading their security with closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems. Though originally used for commercial properties, these systems can also make a significant difference for your home.

Why You Should Consider a Home CCTV System

1. Deter & Identify Criminals

Quite often, the mere presence of a security camera is enough to deter a potential thief. Placing security cameras in prominent areas will cause a criminal to think twice before targeting your house. If your home is broken into regardless, the recorded footage from your CCTV system can help identify the perpetrators.

2. Get Home Insurance Discounts

Working with a locksmith can help you get significant discounts on your home insurance, which also applies to installing a CCTV system. Many home insurance providers offer a wide range of discounts for extra measures that increase your security. In the long run, the yearly savings you get from the insurance discount helps the CCTV system pay for itself.

3. Check In

CCTV systems aren’t always about high-risk crime situations. Sometimes, parents want to check on their teenagers or pets while they’re away from home. Remote monitoring lets you ensure that everything is OK. Depending on the positioning of the cameras, you could even use this system to see what’s going on if you hear a suspicious noise during the night.
